In a method of manufacturing a toner in which toner particles are obtained
by mixing resin particles and at least a colorant with each other to be
coagulated, and heating an obtained coagulated product, binder resin is
granulated into fine particles by a granulating method including a coarse
particle preparing step, a slurry preparing step, a pulverizing step, a
cooling step, and a depressurizing step. Slurry containing coarse
particles of binder resin obtained by way of the coarse particle
preparing step and the slurry preparing step is made to pass under heat
and pressure through a pressure-resistant nozzle whereby the coarse
particles of binder resin are pulverized into resin particles. By
providing the cooling step and the depressurizing step immediately after
the pulverizing step, the resin particles are prevented from coarsening.
